This was briefly addressed in the article. The school would like for all students to take the class, but doesn't have enough funding to support it at the moment.
In the Men's Health last month (or maybe the one before), there was a study relating increased grades with students that began working out. This has the potential to no just improve their health, but also their grades and future job prospects.
